The Village, Ryhope

EXCITING DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY.

This is a very rare opportunity to purchase a charming comprehensively updated pre-war farmhouse together with an attached barn dating to the 18th century with full planning permission for conversion to a two bedroomed house which will combine contemporary open-plan living with historic period detailing. Located in the heart of Ryhope village and therefore particularly well placed for access to the regional road network, the City Centre and a range of other amenities, Willow Farm is a double fronted house which has been sympathetically modernised over recent years to a very high standard retaining its original character, seamlessly blended with modern fittings and finishes to create a fine contemporary home. To the ground floor there are two generously proportioned reception rooms which both benefit from log burners and a stylishly fitted modern kitchen with a useful utility/wc area off. The first floor accommodation is surprisingly generous and includes three bedrooms, with a luxuriously appointed en-suite bathroom and a large modern family bathroom. Externally there is a garden to the front and a designated area of the rear courtyard which will offer secure gated off-road parking together with space to relax and unwind.

The Barn is impressively spacious and has been extensively re-built using largely re-claimed building materials of the period. The structure is complete and is ready for first fix joinery, plumbing electrics etc and is classed as "works ongoing" by building control. In addition, the Barn is fully serviced with new independent gas, electricity and water supplies already paid for and connected ready for meters to be installed and there is also a mains sewer connection meaning that there are no groundworks required. The completed ground floor accommodation will be open plan with a large living room/kitchen and a bathroom. The first floor is served by large dormer windows to the rear and by heritage roof lights to both bedrooms. However, changes to the internal layout can be made, if preferred, without the need for additional planning approval. Externally, there is parking to the side of the Barn accessed from the front together with additional outside space in the rear courtyard for parking and recreational purposes. This is an outstanding opportunity for a small builder or even a competent DIY enthusiast to take on an exciting challenge with undoubted potential. Both properties offered with vacant possession and no upward chain.
